    Default pot size when buying iws flood and drain

    I have decided to buy an iws flood and drain system and am wondering if the standard pot size will be big enough I always hand water using 20l pots I usually have somewhete between 2 and 3 plants per light (600 hps) and I'm happy with what I get ..last time I got just over 700g from the 4 mint choc og and a shade less from the stardogs I had going with them. if I'm using same light to plant ratio will I be able to get same size of plant/return from the standard iws pots? they seem very small to me.

    thanks for the reply what type of returns are you getting ? my worry is the pots are not big enough to give me the plants/return I get hand feeding in 20l pots

    I get about 4 ounce a plant with x8 plants in 1.2 x 2.4 room under x2 600w hps.
    Bear in mind im no pro grower.

    Ive seem people get some nice outcomes with this system.

    Really depends on how long you wanna veg for and plant numbers to lights.

    This system wont give any less returns than any other system.

    What lights u got and number of plants.??

    I used to use the multiflow system with coco which is the same principle tbh..
    My pots are about 10 litre each which is a good thing..
    Using the smaller pots help with the wet and dry cycles which is why you can feed a few times a day once the root system is established..

    Hope this helps..
